For our latest installment of\u00a0Kick Chronicles<\/em><\/a><\/strong>, we, the Snkrs Day staff, identify and detail\u00a0our favorite reflective, 3M sneakers. Check out the shoe each of us selected, and share with us your favorite 3M shoe.<\/p>\n

Air Jordan 5 White\/Metallic Silver<\/h2>\n

The Air Max 97 is probably the most 3M I’d rock on one shoe, but my favorite application of the flash feature is that of the Air Jordan 5. When I was in seventh grade, I got my first pair in the form of the White\/Metallic Silver retros. I wore them to school (and actually got made fun of once about them), I played basketball in them and eventually I probably mowed the lawn in them. Back when they were clean, there’s a great shot of me wearing them on spring break in Hilton Head with my sister. It’s at sunset so it’s pretty dim, but you can see the tongue just glowing on the shoe.<\/p>\n

George Kiel<\/h3>\n

Air Jordan 5 “Green Bean”<\/h2>\n

This is a tough one for me. I absolutely love the KRINK Air Force 1, but the “Green Bean” Air Jordan 5 is honestly my favorite reflective shoe. The reason probably lies in the fact that this was one of the first 3M shoes that I felt I really needed in my possession. The Flint Grey hints just added to its overall subtle-yet-glaring appeal.<\/p>\n

Nike Air Max 1 “112” Pack<\/h2>\n\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
My favorite 3M shoe is the “112” Air Max 1. DJ Clark Kent will forever be known (in my mind at least) for one of the best sneaker colorways ever with the “112” motif because it comprises of colors and materials I love, including 3M. Today, there’s quite a bit of 3M inflation going on in sneakers and apparel; but back in the day it was only sparingly used. At the time, the “112” Pack was one of the few drops in the modern, QS era of sneakers to include a predominant reflective upper. Once I saw the pictures first hit the Web, the Air Max 1 was a done deal for me. The silhouette is probably my favorite runner of all-time, and I just really like how the 112 incorporated the reflective material. Even with all the 3M dropping these days, the 112 Air Max 1 has withstood the test of time making it one of the best AM 1 colorways, period.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Michael Parsley<\/h3>\n

Sakura x Nike Court Force<\/h2>\n

The Sakura x Nike Court Force that dropped back around ’07 are probably my favorite reflective sneakers. They utilized a black reflective upper, so you couldn’t even really tell they were reflective until the light hit them just right. Other details of the shoe such as a laser-etched tongue, textured collar, and semi-translucent outsole just put these things over the top.<\/p>\n

Pierce Simpson<\/h3>\n

Air Jordan 5 Black\/Metallic Silver<\/h2>\n

I\u2019m not a flashy guy, and 3m material is inherently flashy, no pun intended. So whenever I think about some of my favorite 3m-styled models, I prefer those that incorporate subtle accents or features, rather than immersing itself in the aforementioned material. With this in mind, my pick would have to be the Air Jordan V. With its blend of innovation and historic detailing, this sneaker offers the perfect balance for someone like myself.<\/p>\n

Sid Ashford<\/h3>\n

Nike KD II “Creamsicle”<\/h2>\n

I’m not a super, big fan of 3M on shoes, and for that I prefer that the 3M detailing be more subtle. No shoe achieves that better in my opinion than the Nike KD II “Creamsicle.” It’s predominately orange upper already demands attention with its loud hue, but when you actually notice the orange is 3M as well, you begin to see its true beauty.<\/p>\n
